Your thyroid profile is in subclinical range . Hypertriglyceridemia and hypercholestrolemia is an indication to start on thyroxine replacement. If your mom is already an hypothyroid patient, increase the dose of thyroxine. If she is not an hypothyroid start on thyroxine 25 ug morning one dose on empty stomach 1 hour before food . Avoid junk foods . Regarding whether to take cholesterol medicine or not . If cholesterol value doesn't come down on thyroxine tablet she can take rosuvastatin tablet . And also she should take vitamin d supplements 60,000 IU once a week for 8 weeks for low value of vitamin d levels .
Her Cholesterol can be controlled by life style measures , repeat test after 12 weeks.
Avoid fatty, sugary food, give her more fresh green vegetables, fruits, whole grains, fortified cereals, milk, curd, cheese, eggs.
She should do some regular exercise.
For thyroid, please share what she is taking and how long, what is her current thyroid status?.Then I can guide you.
For vit D- Give her tab vit d3 60,000 units once weekly for 6 to 8 weeks.
Uprise d60k once a week for eight weeks followed by one per month for six months a complete therapy by WHO.
